When kidneys are failing, the increased concentration and accumulation of substances in urine lead to a darker color which may be brown, red or purple

Question

What are the symptoms of stage 1 kidney disease?

One of my relatives has been dealing with high blood pressure and their creatinine level was around 3.6. After being admitted to the hospital and getting treatment with English medicine, their blood pressure is now normal, but the creatinine level has gone up to 4.5. I'm a big believer in Ayurveda and was wondering when would be a good time to bring them in for a consultation with you.

Question

I've been diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and Im kind of worried about whats coming next. My creatinine levels jumped to 3.9 but are back down to 1.9 with the help of steroids. Im following a renal diet and keeping my salt intake under 5 grams. The steroids are being tapered off and should be stopped by the end of this month. I'm also on telmisartan and metoprolol for blood pressure control. My uric acid levels are at 8, which is higher than normal, but all my other minerals are looking good according to the prescription ranges. Can you give me some insight into what I might expect with this disease in the future and any advice on how I can keep things under control?
